Using CC 2008 on XP
The pop up window under "Insert Link" has several fields that I am not sure if thet should be filled in or defaulted. Searched FAQs without sucess.

"Target" When should this be selected?

"Title" Where does the text entered her show up on a web page?

"Web Browser Window Message" What is this for?
Thanks

Jerry,

Target is used in a link to tell the browser to open the link in a new window, open the link in a frame, etc. If you check http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp you can see all the information about using target.

Title is used in a link (and in an image) to display something like a tool-tip, so if someone hovers over the link, they will see the words you enter for title.

Web Browser Window Message - just guessing since I haven't tested it - I suspect this is the words displayed at the top of the browser. Just create one and see if that is where the words display.

The WBWM displays in the Status bar at the bottom of the screen.
